Where did the BK-15 go wrong?

Fair enough. One could only expect you to try and numb the pain.

Wanna buy some heroin?
 
Lol. Rye Whiskey is like the official Canadian distilled beverage.

I must be a girl, I have never liked Whiskey.
 
I think the BK-15 simply got "old" and something new is in order. I really like it and prefer it over the BK-16. Never bought a spare. I have other knives that are similar. I'd dump the black paint and would on most of the Becker line that are still black.
 
I need a 5. Gave away two for Christmas a couple years ago, I don't know why I haven't picked up another.....
 
The BK5 and BK15 are my "go-to" Beckers for most of what I do.

I have no idea how this new forum software works, and I am probably missing something easy, but I cannot for the life of me find a way to email you from your profile.
 
I didn't know what i was missing until i held a 15 and actually used it. It has become one of my favorites.
 
Oddly, the 15 is the only Becker I own. I will likely buy a five for mostly kitchen use. There are a million drop-point outdoor knives out there but only a very few with a trailing point and the almost perfect size of the 15. It's so useful I bought one for my son, too.
 
I love my 15 but the finger choil has got me down, my fingers are big enough I cant use Choils on most knives unless I want to get nicked using it, the coil ends up just being an extra inch of steel in weight that does nothing for me. I really which BKT would release choiless/coating free versions of there knives.


PS-One of the best things you can do is replace the metal bolts with nylon, nylon bolts are plenty strong enough for splitting kindling and everything you generally use the 15 for, yet make it feel that much lighter/quicker in the hand.
 
The BK-15 is my favorite Becker knife. That just occurred to me. If I were Kabar, I'd look at bringing back the -15 with a few changes. Trailing points tend to be my favorite all around knife shape.
 
I really like the 15 but would prefer it without the choil. The blade and handle length are both good for a fixed blade but the overall length is longer than it needs to be just because of the choil. It's too long for me to carry horizontally beside my belt buckle which is my favorite carry for fixed blades.
